We moved to this property just over two years ago. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The neighbouring property has a shepherd living there with a small flock of sheep & a small herd of goats, and the horses that are in the fields for the winter months will soon be taken up to the mountains in the Pyrenees for the summer.

My son (aged 32) is back helping us with a lot of the DIY, but every now and then he returns to where he lives to do other jobs. My daughter (aged 27) lives with her partner nearby and our grand-daughter had her first birthday in March. Both my son and daughter are completely bilingual and I speak French reasonably well ~ my husband still struggles! We are retirement age, but still very active. However, my husband is not a DIY person, but does love the garden. We really could do with some help on all sorts of levels and hope to find somebody who would enjoy being in France for a while.

There's usually some tasks to be done with our newly created veggie patch, keeping the grass mowed (ride-on mower), painting and decorating (inside and out), renovating the last of the three bedrooms on the 1st floor (we've done the other two). We'd equally love to welcome a helper who can join in with the other tasks around the house ~ sharing the cooking would be good if they enjoy having a go, and Jody (my son's dog) is always up for going for a walk when she's over here with us!

We enjoy eating outside and BBQ quite often (weather permitting). We don't object if cigarettes are outside.

We are a happy and relaxed home, whilst striving to keep things neat and tidy ~ not always easy when there's building work going on, but the aim to achieve is there!

Our own bedrooms are on the ground floor level and the guest bedrooms on the 1st floor level. Our helper will have their own bedroom on the 1st floor, and the bathroom on that level (see the photo) is used only by them ~ that changes if we have guests to stay then they'd be sharing it with them (there are 2 WC's on that level). There's internet available. Our previous helpers have come to us from a different direction; we have reviews from them available to you on request.

There are some lovely walks, the nearby village has a summer swimming pool and there's a lake not far from here. In the summer months, a lot of the villages have events going on at the week-ends ~ we go to some of these and are happy to take you with us if you're interested. We look forward to introducing our helper to the local region.
